Memo600 has confirmed that NBA YoungBoy gave King Yella $30,000 to bail his son out, and the Chicago rapper says he knew about the gesture well before it became public.
King Yella had already made the claim himself. Memo600 backed it up and made clear he had been sitting on the information. “I knew before y’all knew,” he said. He added that it was never his story to tell. “That wasn’t my place to say it,” he explained.
He had nothing but praise for YoungBoy’s role. “If you got money and you could help out, that’s what families do,” he said, adding, “big up to him. I applaud him for it.”
The financial help has fueled talk that YoungBoy has grown unusually close to figures on the anti-Lil Durk side of Chicago’s long-running feuds.
Memo600 rejected the suggestion that the Louisiana star had become an honorary GD. “Nah, hell no,” he said. He also played down any deeper meaning behind the bail money. “Nah, he just helping out. That’s all,” he added.
He did offer a notable detail about YoungBoy’s Chicago concert, which had been surrounded by speculation that Mama Duck could appear on stage.
According to Memo600, the Blood Hounds were headed to that show. He stopped short of claiming YoungBoy planned to bring them out. “I don’t know. I ain’t saying that, but I know they was going,” he said.
The conversation also touched on Q50, who has been taking shots at Durk despite the large age gap between them.
Memo600 defended the younger rapper’s choices. “He got his reasons,” he said. He noted that Billionaire Black was the first to drop a diss in that exchange.
Memo600 also returned to one of his most talked-about claims: that King Von never formally signed to Lil Durk’s OTF.
He said many people refused to believe him when he first raised it, until they looked into it themselves. “They were saying I was lying,” he said. “He wasn’t signed to OTF.”
On how Durk took Von’s decision, Memo600 described mixed feelings that never became a rift. “I feel like he really wanted him to sign, but he was cool with his opinion. He was cool with his decision,” he said. He also pushed back on the idea that Von owed his rise entirely to Durk. “He was going to figure it out,” he said.
He was dismissive of the theory that a clip involving 6ix9ine and Wack 100 was what pushed Durk toward the alleged plot at the center of his federal case.
He mocked the idea that either man would rank near the top of any list Durk might have. “This man got a million ops in the world,” he said.
When Memo600 learned that Charleston White was being interviewed at the same location later that day, his reaction was immediate.
He made it clear he wanted no part of a face-to-face meeting, while acknowledging he was trying to stay out of trouble. “I’m trying to be cool and I ain’t trying to go back to jail,” he said.
On the music front, Memo600 has a project lined up for the end of October. “I got an album dropping on Halloween,” he said.
He has also just released a new single titled “Fried,” which is available on all platforms with a video out on YouTube. He said he plans to return to his other ventures soon but has been focused on music.
